Poetry Night - Chicago

Tonight is poetry night. The theme: Chicago! Mine is Carl Sandburg's "Chicago Poet."

My poem:

Chicago
(January 2008)

Beer and brats
and cold brooding
walks
cigars and thoughts
and hard drinking
bouts

my chicago!

escape from the cold
northeastern old
city
meander and smoke
and have numerous
epipanies

i'm not so happy
now
and
i can't fake it

but perhaps
i'll be transformed
and perhaps
i'll be refreshed
just perhaps
[hopefully]
i'll be naked!
